"There is a person close to our employer who sold our itinerary completely."
The reason Han Jun said is not unwise.
He did not directly tear open the whole truth, causing the mercenaries in front of him to immediately riot, thus making himself passive in violating the employment agreement; but at the same time, he revealed some of the facts, which made the mercenaries quickly and unprecedentedly before the crisis. Unity, even became obedient to him.
And within a short day after the departure, the team had already been attacked by two extremely precise attacks. Now even the less keen mercenaries have also noticed a little weirdness.
Therefore, Han Jun's proposal to change the route was almost undoubtedly supported by the mercenaries.
At this time, the driver who was the employer was under the accusation that Han Jun bluntly said that the employer had a traitor by his side. Of course, he could only cooperate with Han Jun's performance, pretending to be nervous and uneasy, and completely lost control of the route.
But even so, Han Jun was still not at ease.
So that in the dark night that was inconvenient to set off, Han Jun remained tight-lipped and silent, and did not reveal the changed route to anyone.
Until the dawn had broken, the two moons were swallowed in the sun. Han Juncai finally gave his final decision slowly at the last moment before departure.
And his decision, even those mercenaries who have been running around all the year round, could not easily anticipate:
"There are only three or four common business roads leading to Maz City. And as long as the bandits who have contacted us spread our information in advance, no matter which route we take, we may be subject to new ones. Containment. And if you want to go directly past all the encirclement, there is actually only one choice... Change the way to the wilderness!"
…
After leaving the place where he was stationed last night, a large area of saline-alkali land was distributed hundreds of miles ahead.
The salient feature of this type of landform is that very few plants can survive normally.
Therefore, at this moment, what Han Jun proposed was to take advantage of the scarcity of plants in the saline-alkali land, and simply let the carriages leave the ordinary commercial roads and go directly through the wilds that can also be driven.
However, this plan proposed by Han Jun, under the premise that he had already controlled the mercenary group, still did not receive an immediate response.
Of course, the reason why Shang Dao is Shang Dao is not just because of its smooth road.
The routes chosen as the business way are actually carefully avoided from the entrenched area of the large delusion beasts, so that human beings will not directly collide with the tyrannical delusion beasts.
Once the team enters the wilderness, they will face conflicts with the wild beasts at any time.
Invisible, countless risks are naturally added.
But for everyone's concern, Han Jun obviously had anticipated it a long time ago.
Therefore, Han Jun at this time had already taken out a piece of armor fragment cut off by a sharp weapon from the spoils collected last night, and held this fragment high in the air.
"This is what I learned from the group of attackers last night. Although they deliberately concealed the symbols above, this piece of armor that I shaved off still exposed their identities."
As Han Jun spoke, he slowly passed the fragments across everyone's eyes.
The symbol on the fragment is the head of a wolf-headed eagle, obviously a symbol of a certain organization.
"Owl Wolf Group?"
Some of the mercenaries quickly recognized this symbol, and the moment they recognized this symbol, they immediately supported Han Jun's choice.
Seeing that there are still people in the crowd who are unknown, the mercenary who previously recognized the source of the fragments has quickly added:
"That is a very famous mercenary group, and different from the mercenary group that usually undertakes escort tasks, they are on the black list of the Wanderer's Union and specialize in looting."
"And what is even more terrifying is that the owl wolves did not looting based on their own judgment, but were hired by others, etc., before looting the targets of their employers. An attack failed, but they will definitely not give up, and they will attack again after regrouping."
Speaking of this, the mercenary who knew the name of the owl wolves group was already timid.
Seeing this situation, Han Jun added again:
"As he said, the group of people eyeing our escort is the so-called owl wolves group. If we go directly into the wilderness, we may only encounter powerful beasts; but if we still walk on the road of business, we must Will be attacked by the owl wolves again."
"We now have no choice at all!"
…
After Han Jun threw out the huge threat of the owl wolves group, the escort team still followed his will and directly broke away from the scope of the business way into the wilderness.
However, after submerging into the wilderness, Han Jun did not rush forward recklessly. Instead, the archers in the five-man team continued to feed back the information ahead of the road, and always chose the route with the most wild animals.
This is because the creature, the beast, is actually slightly similar to the predators in the real world, and it also has a strong sense of territory.
Therefore, as long as there are ordinary animals in the direction of Su Mu and his party, even if there are delusional beasts here, it will not be such a tyrannical existence.
And at this moment, facing the escorted horse-powered carriage speeding in the saline-alkali soil, and constantly raising rough soil and ringworm. However, Su Mu also concealed into an unconcerned corner again, and secretly used the fighting skills to turn back on the way, quietly gathering more of all things.
And also benefited from Han Jun's act of coordinating mercenaries. At this time, in the eyes of all mercenaries, Su Mu, like Han Jun, belonged to the category of people with mercenary dispatching rights.
Therefore, when Su Mu was away from the crowd again, no one would arbitrarily criticize him.
Naturally, Su Mu felt more at ease. While stepping back and forth to continuously strengthen his essence, he also looked at the wilderness with his eyes flying around, keeping an eye on the possible anomalies at any time.
…
As the day galloped from dawn to sunset, Su Mu and his party had deviated from the original business way by nearly a hundred miles.
At this time, even if the owl wolves' chasers finally realized that Su Mu and his party had disappeared out of thin air, they could no longer pinpoint the location of the crowd.
As long as Su Mu and his party crossed the saline plain and returned to the business road further afield, they had already passed the ambush set by the owl wolves group.
Therefore, it was not until this moment that the mercenaries finally relaxed in the twilight after a day of sprinting.
Even when they set up camp again, the mercenaries rarely took out the ale they had hidden, and began to enjoy the food in piles with dry food.
As the current leader, Han Jun, of course, did not prevent everyone from relaxing temporarily.
Even on the way to the camp, Han Jun specially took out some firewood from his bag. In this saline-alkali soil where there is almost no firewood, a small pile of flames for boiling soup and warm wine was also ignited.
Seeing this, Su Mu really couldn't see through Han Jun.
After all, this kind of wood called the firewood, although it is extremely flammable and flame-resistant, is usually a common item for hunters in the wild.
But as a mercenary guarding the regiment, few people would carry such a burden.
And while Su Mu was thinking about Han Jun's strangeness, Han Jun who lit the fire for the mercenaries also looked in Su Mu's direction, and even immediately walked over with a strange expression.
And when Han Jun walked towards Su Mu, he whispered the first sentence to Su Mu, and Su Mu could no longer calm down:
"Our group is still being targeted by some kind of delusional beast!"
